Can the motion sensor be disabled?

Yes, but it's buried in the 8 pages of instructions with very tiny print, and to get to the point where you disable the motion sensor, you have to go through a long sequence of setting other options. I did it once, but after a power outage reset the unit and the motion sensor defaulted back to ON, I disconnected the unit and put it in a drawer. I don't anticipate using it again.

Yes - the instructions are not clear, but hold down the Meter button for 3-4 seconds and you get to a series of options to turn the PIR off, and also to disable the standby-off by setting the power level (watts) down to 0 (zero). Too bad they did not make this easier (and more obvious) to do. As I write in my review - unit is great, instruction manual is awful, and user interface is awkward.

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

I believe the only way to disable the dimming function and motion sensor is to turn on the light, off for 1 second and then back on. This is common with motion sensors no days. Also, consider dimable LED lights, they'll save on energy and look just as good. We're using the phillips LED (roughly $10 each) The've already paid for themselves in savings.

turn off motion sensor when home, save storage, turn on when gone for alerts. i don't know the minute answer

Not that I am aware of - either motion or humidity initiates the fan. You can turn the product off at the switch and turn it on only when you are showering or are aware of possible humidity. You can set the humidistat to various levels. I believe you can turn off the motion sensor but I had it installed and requested that the fan be set for both and to remain on for 20 minutes. Hope this helps.

Yes, this has a Motion Sensor feature and the ability to automatically power off at a set time.

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected.B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

Hi patrick,I never purchased a motion sensor, just the switch, so I can't really comment on it's functions.

If your unit is turning on in that manner, there is probably a setting in the menu for motion sensitivity. I would suggest turning this option off. May be under some kind of energy savings menu.

No. I wish you could, but it's a pretty basic unit. I was thinking of experimenting with it by putting some translucent tape over the sensor to reduce its sensitivity, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post another review if I do.

Easiest way is to push the camera down which will turn the motion off. I only use the camera for Skype, however not on a regular basis. I don't miss the motion functionality at all.

Yes, that's largely the point of motion sensors. :-) They operate in the infrared spectrum, so visible light is not necessary. They're often used to turn on lights when motion is sensed, which is what I do with mine.

I have two --- one works great on motion sensor. The other has proven very difficult to get the settings right. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of patience.

have your system wired so the motion sensors are all on one zone. that way you ca program your system to "stay". it turns off the inside stuff and keeps door and glass-break sensors active

I believe that you can by using the settings switch, if that doesn't work....Duct tape over the sensor.

You can manually to turn it on/off or set the machine running by Motion detecting function.But the time of Motion detecting function will not be long.thanks.
